I do. Is there anything in the Bible that says otherwise? Nope.joeboonda said:Hi, I have not studied Mormonism in years, but I will ask a question: Do you all believe that God was once a man?
Hi Joeboonda,joeboonda said:See, there is absolutely no way I can go along with that, I am sorry, I simply cannot, but thanks for your honesty. But I have a question, what was he before he was a man, was he a spirit-being or spirit-baby, honestly I want to know, not to debate but for my info. Anyway, if he was a man or spirit being or something before he was a man, who created him? My bible says his goings forth are from everlasting, and that he is from everlasting to everlasting, so I do not see how he was a man if he has always been God. I am interested in your explanation, it is fascinating to hear how you believe, and I mean that nicely, I am just curious. I have to work tomorrow, but I will be on the forums I hope some this next week and all, so I will check back. You all have a good night!
Sincerely,
Joeboonda

Actually, it was the post back in September (which Jewscout deleted and which I received permission to address in the LDS forum). You received a 1-point warning for it. I think you probably remember it. It was considerably more antogonistic in its tone than the one in which you referred to us as a cult. Nonetheless, I will assume that your apology is sincere and am willing to accept it. I, too, hope we can learn to have a greater respect for one another's beliefs, because in spite of where we differ, we do both worship the same God, and are saved through the atoning sacrifice of the same Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He would never be pleased to see us be unkind to one another.joeboonda said:Well, I love you all, and hope to have a chance to talk of doctrinal matters again sometime soon. And again, I am sorry to have said anything hurtful, sure don't mean to be that way.... I don't remember the exact post, possibly where I said Mormonism was considered a cult by some christians? And for saying that I am truly sorry, because I know you all do not consider yourselves to be in that category...

Thanks Aqualung, for reading some of it, the 2nd part, of what the Bible has to say is what concerns me most, if you could give me some feedback, I'd appreciate that a bunch, thanks again!Aqualung said:Pretty much it's just a matter of interpretation. I only skimmed the first part (because I get too easily distracted to read something like that), but it's an interpretation of what timeframe "everlasting" covers. To the LDS, it's pretty much that he was around before we were created, and he'll be there in the end. But to you it's that he essentially had no beginning, ever. That's my two cents.
Let me see if I understand this correctly.jonny said:I do. Is there anything in the Bible that says otherwise? Nope.
